Marc Frydman was jogging Downtown Jersey City Thursday evening when he watched in horror as a car struck two pedestrians and crashed into a small park area at the intersection of Washington and Grand streets. He was one of the two pedestrians.

Frydman blogs on his Web site about the incident. Marc writes about meeting his "first responder" who came to his assistance before the EMTs showed up. It is an unusual way for people to meet new friends -- or city folk they just haven't met yet.

The blogger took pains to see what was written about the accident and was even surprised to read The Jersey Journal had published his post from Twitter.

Frydman e-mailed Hudson County Voices: " ... it might be good for people to read about the acts of good Samaritans. I understand it's not the best news for print, though people may enjoy reading about it. A morale boost at most but something many can use these days."

The only question left is whether Marc ever did meet his "first responder" when he wasn't bleeding?
